Empty utility slots need a greeble- otherwise they are flat shaded polygons

Just as hardpoints have detail underneath the actual weapon, utility points need something as well. Currently they are a simple flat polygon with no texture or detail.

It looks a bit strange so empty! Could the art guys pop a texture / bump map or something under them?
 
Hello, Rubbernuke. :)

+1. Not a high priority, by any means, but still a perfectly sensible suggestion. TBH, I hadn't even noticed the issue until you pointed it out, but I suspect it'll now be impossible for me not to see it every single time I switch weapons. In any case, as the game develops further, I think it will become more obvious to everyone, so fixing it seems a wise choice.

BTW, Rubbernuke, thank you for introducing me to the word 'greeble', which I have somehow failed to encounter, despite it apparently being in use since ILM coined it in the 1970s. :)
 
I'm imagining Greebles as cute fluffy space creatures that live in empty utility slots now.


I should probably Google what they really are, but I don't want to spoil the image in my mind. Lol

+1 for Greebles. (But only if they're cute fluffy creatures)

You may need to make a list of ships and slots, because some do have details there. There are even clearly unused slots around.
